§ Mr. Donald Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what was the total expenditure of the Ministry of Technology between 1966 and 1970; and what proportion of this was spent in Wales.
§ Mr. RidleyThe gross voted expenditure between 31st March, 1967, and 1st April, 1970, on services for which the Ministry of Technology was responsible at its dissolution was £4,180 million, of which approximately 5 per cent. was spent in Wales. I regret that comparable figures for 1966–67 are not available.
